They long windup will get him killed. If they pick him up in the 3rd I might live with it but why bother? Why get another developmental QB when you could just build the overall team strength. I see Ridder as a lot more of a fluid mover than Lefty. His windup doesn't seem as long either. I'm far from good at analyzing QB prospects, though. I just like Ridder a lot more than looking back at Leftwich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
43M Posted February 7, 2022 Author Share Posted February 7, 2022 I might be tempted to take a shot at Carson Strong if he fell to the 3rd...especially if we got a 3rd rd comp. It wont happen though because Tomlin is seemingly obsessed with getting a mobile QB. There is no day 1 or 2 QB Id take where they are currently being projected. There are zero QBs Id take rd 1. Willis and maybe Pickett rd 2. Maybe Strong and Corral rd 3. Howell rd 5. Ridder and Purdy rd 6 or 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always find this funny that scouts/teams talk themselves into reaching for a QB in the first round not matter how weak the prospects are. I understand how valuable the position is but reaching for a guy that isn't the answer doesn't help anything. Its how Christian Ponder or Jake Locker or Jordan Love get picked in the first round. I hope the Steelers don't reach for a need, I would rather them get a stop gap in free agency. Does anyone know how the QB class of 2023 is looking? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jebrick Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 2023 is pretty strong. Levis(Ky) and Stroud(tOSU), McCall(coastal Carolina). possibly Young. Hendon Hooker(Tenn). Another to keep an eye on would be DJ Uiagalelei(Clemson). I would have drafted Levis if he had come out this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
August4th Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 think I'm leaning towards camp sign a vet to compete with Mason and wait to draft a 1st RD QB next yr 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hopeful the FO believes that Haskins is our "high potential dart throw guy" and we don't waste a draft pick on one. I think we probably take one in the 1st to much chagrin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how all of them will do, or if they'll even come out, but they are much more promising to me than the group in 2022. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C$! Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 I'm not saying it is a new phenomenon but teams reaching for a QB in the first does feel like a more recent trend (last 10-15 years). I remember drafts where no QB's were taken in the first. Now teams get so desperate they overvalue them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
